The WUSB54GS did show up as a TI chip but there was no option for WPA
passcode
which I need to connect, just WEP came up.

I do not have the option to use a LAN cable.

I would advise using a Linksys since they are the number 1 for home
networking and have Cisco for a parent company. If 4 adapters from 3
different companies won't show up, then it does look like an install
problem. Maybe an e-mail to Linksys might turn up a helpful employee.

Good Luck.

Respectfully I disagree, do the research and look at the compatability
charts. Dlink WDA 2320 worked "out-of-the-box" for me and the Linksys
devices all had to be re-compiled for the specific system. I do agree with
the point of re-installing the sysytem though.

I won't disagree since I don't have a card in my PC, but I do use a
Linksys WRT54G'L', for Linux, router. They ARE Linux friendly since this
version of router, the 'L', is for Linux hacking with a faster CPU and a
lot more memory. I can't say that about D-Link, and what the hell is
Gigabyte doing in the network pond??? They make MB's.

For this case though, if a D-Link worked right out of the box, the OP
now has to buy yet another card, making his parts pile 4 high.
Can't complain since I have a full dresser drawer of cards that have
saved my bacon a number of times.

Cheers,
